If your child’s name is placed on the Child Protection Register, a Child Protection Plan is agreed and a Core Group will be identified.
The Core Group will be made up of a small group of people, including you (and where appropriate your child) who meet on a regular basis (usually every four to six weeks). A social work manager directly involved with you and your child usually chairs the Core Group. The purpose of the Core Group meeting is to look at the Child Protection Plan and consider the progress being made. Any difficulties in progressing this Plan will be identified and where necessary changes made to address this. Your contribution is important to ensure the successful progress of the Plan.
The progress of the Child Protection Plan will be reported to the Review Child Protection Conference.
If you have any concerns about the progress of this Plan these should be raised with the Chair of the Core Group meeting, or the Chair of the Review Child Protection Conference.
